So this is a photo of my next project. I have another photo that I could not find on line, I have printed out that I am actually going to use. The background is much more interesting. At this point I have wet felted the background for the mural to look out of focus and I will needle felt the Tree swallows and branches and other details now. I will take a photo of the background before I start. See you soon!

Unfortunatly I am not a good photographer and this picture does not do this mural justice. There are color variants that you need to see in person to appriciate them. This is my view of Mount Monadnock from the top of Miller State Park. I took this picture one early morning after hiking Raymond trail and what a wonderful view to enjoy and start my day with.  I wet and needle felting this mural from wool which is all grown locally.

This is a mural I made of sheep in a field. I then framed it in an old window. Lot's of color and fun.

I made this rug from a pattern I saw on line. I am really interested in making wool rugs with old floorcloth patterns. I used to make floorcloths a long time ago so this is fun to do it in another medium. My problem is I am pulled in so many directions! I want to try so many techniques in felting! So much to do, so litte time.

Beginning Felting Class

Twin Elm Farm

I realize it has been quite awhile since I have updated my blog and I am so sorry! Time is flying by. Having the space at Twin Elm Farm keeps me very busy and I love making things for my spot. I just filled it with Christmas things for the weekend, so has everyone else and it is so beautiful in there. If you are from the area and you haven't gone you really must. If you are from out of town and looking for a day trip, Peterborough NH has wonderful shopping and eateries, many to choose from!

   Here are a few of the things I have put in my shop at Twin Elm Farm!

Autumn

So, I can't help but think about fall in August. When August rolls around I start to feel melancholy about the summer but excited about fall too! I am one of those New England people that actually like winter!

I love fall colors and have been enjoying working with beautifully dyed wools in oranges, golden yellow's and reds. I also love Halloween and I couldn't resist making this crow. He is about 20" tall with wire legs. I have since made another one sitting down and I will post that as soon as I can. Happy Halloween!
